So, I admit I'm not the most worldly when it comes to computer games. I tend to find a genre I like and stick to the titles I know. More of a main course kinda guy rather than eating a bunch of appetizers... but this new Quake game looks INCREDIBLE. We're talking BF2 playability with Quake 4's graphics. WOW!

Take a look at these pre-alpha screenshots and think about how smooth the finished product will be. Start putting money away now, gentlemen.

While most of us are still saving pennies to drop a second video card into our SLI motherboards, dell and nvidia went ahead and raised the bar. I don't know how long it will take me to save up for 3 more cards instead of 1!

That's right, quad SLI made it's debut at this year's CES. The pictures of this machine are incredible... from the paint job, down to it's OC'd 4.2 GHZ EE P4(dual core). With two 7800 GTX gpu's and 1 GB of ram per card, these monsters will eat up anything ATI can muster. I can't wait to see some benchmarks - probably off the charts like the price!

That 30" LCD is nothing to scoff at either, nice work Michael.

Well, I pretty much missed the boat on the first Call of Duty. It came out right when I left to backpack around Australia for a year… so all my taco buddies got in on it while I relaxed on the beach. I’m not sure who had the better deal! ;)

Being that I missed part 1, I had to jump on part 2 as soon as it came out. I must say that it’s worth every penny! This is probably the most visually stunning fps I’ve ever seen and that’s not just because I’m such a WWII buff. The graphics, sound and game play completely immerse you in almost realistic 1940’s combat. I went through and took some good srceenies from the Soviet and British campaigns and I’ve posted them in gallery for your perusal. This is definitely 4.5 out of 5 burritos for this taco. The only problem I could find is throwing grenades/smoke grenades. Instead of a normal weapon selection button, you simply hit "g" or "4" to throw them. For most of us experienced fps'ers, this will be a cumbersome, inefficient and inaccurate method of control.

Hey Guys,

I haven't been on much with the summer coming to an end very soon. We need to get the sun/hot weather while we can up here in the Great White North!

Having said that, I can feel the BF2 calling and need to jump back on the horse, as all TACOs should. In light of this, the world wide web has puked out an interesting optimization guide for BF2 and it's high time we optimized. Yes Slim, I do mean you... no more of this WoW crap!

Anyway, this taco decree states that you must head over to Firing Squad and follow this guide to Battlefield nirvana.

That is all, gentlemen.

Great article I found linked from Slashdot. It compares video games of our generation to Rock and Roll of the older generation - both were seen as immoral at one point. It also highlights the inevitability of Video Games becoming accepted, as the older generation dies out. Good read.

It's official. BF2 has received the "burrito of approval"(an extremely coveted rank to achieve I might add). We've been whooping it up lately on RnP.ca's server as we anxiously await our own. This game offers some great team play and I recommend it to anyone interested in the team-based FPS genre. The "Golden Taco Bowling Club" will officially unveil our server, Enchilada1, on the 1st of July... to much fanfare. Hope to see you all there soon. Remember to donate to the cause in the server section, if that's your cup of tea. The more you donate, the longer the TACO lives.

Viva El Taco!

Go figure,

The week I buy a new Geforce 6800GT, nvidia goes and releases the next generation 7800GTX. I think nvidia has it out for me. Just once I want to be at/near the top of the performance pyramid! Son of a...

Anyway, this new Geforce 7800GTX sounds as though it is the proverbial "Cat's ass". We're talking benchmarks off the charts - including outpacing 6800 ultras in SLI configuration on a few high res/quality apps(Doom 3/Bf2 to name a few). This card will undeniably be the king of the video card world until ATi can answer with their next gen card - or should I say IF ATi can answer. These benchmarks speak for themselves. Take a look at the first sneak peak from Firing Squad.

Hey dudes,

It seems like only yesterday I was endorsing a little no-name title called BF1942...and we all know how that turned out. Battlefield 2, the long awaited sequel to '42, has finally arrived. Head on over to your favourite downloading spot(3d gamers is mine) and get this ASAP. I haven't been able to play yet(due to my lack of a compatible vid card - I know, I know - working on it). Anyway, this game is receiving rave reviews from the likes of Firing Squad and a few others. From what I can tell by speaking with the forturnate tacos that have played, the demo still needs some work, but it is TOIGHT!

The moral of the story is... get your PC up to spec, download this badboy and join in for some multiplayer mayhem. We're still accepting donations for our BF2 server, so if you would like to be a part of it all, please visit our payapal account(under the servers link).

Some Taco Screenies...

***UPDATE*** I have now played it and can confirm that it does kick ass. Download it as quickly as your pipe can take it. Pre-order your full versions as well. It's out in 2 days.

Well guys,

We finally made it. We're on our new, stable host. It was a long road getting here and I'm all teary eyed at the prospect of not having to re-configure everything every other day. Wow... might actually have some time for gaming!

I'm coming up with yet another layout for taco loosley based on what you see now so bear with me for the next little while.

In conclusion, I'd like to thank meea for all his support and the occasional sheep sent my way free of charge.

If anyone out there is looking for a host and wants to give us money at the same time... use dreamhost (link is in the about section) and we'll get a kickback for the referral.

Dig it.
